The Waterquest is a two piece top/bottom design similar to the BassHunter but has more wood in the floors. One nice thing is it has a small bilge area. I also had the Sportsman II, just like the Bass Hunter but a lil longer. Yep great boats, Used mine for years. Biggest difference between the basshunter (we always called them the Bantam style) or the Waterquest type is the Waterquest/Bass Hounds have sides and the Bantams don't. All in all the 11.3 is great boat and the Bass Hunters style is also. Worst problem with any of them, getting time to use them!
